How I’ve been dealing with email stress

Ever hear of unroll.me? I just discovered it this weekend, and I have to say that I am liking it more and more as I use it! Everyday, I spend an obscene amount of time sifting through both the important and the un-important emails.

It gets tiresome… and stressful!

I never really looked into a solution – it didn’t really occur to me that I could do something about it until I heard about unroll.me‘s cool new service. Basically, it works for those of us that have gmail, yahoo or aol mail, and it’s as simple as installing an app to your account. It helps minimize the amount of emails that filter into your inbox on a daily basis. Love getting your groupon alerts but don’t want to be beat up with emails? Add it to your rollup and only hear from them once a day instead of more.

I was skeptical at first – I’m not very good at change when it comes to how I like to read my email. I decided to give it a try and see what a difference it would make.

I entered in my details..

Installed the app…

…And then let it analyze my junky inbox!

It has ALOT of suggestions as to what I should put in my daily rollup. I’d still love to hear from macy’s every day, but I’ll put that one in my rollup because it’s not that terribly important for me to hear about more than once a day. I was also able to unsubscribe from newsletters I don’t really read anymore. Yes, I am guilty of being too lazy to unsubscribe!

So this morning when I got up to check my email – I had ONE email.. from my sister! The nice part is, I still see every single email that goes by via my phone, so I don’t miss a thing.
